This week’s special – Kanchi puram silks
The temple town of kanchipuram, south of city Chennai in Tamilnadu has been famous for its figured and brocaded silk woven saris. The specialty of kanchipuram saris is the solid colored borders and pallus, shoulder pieces, which requires the interlocking of silk threads. Many of the designs are permutations and combination of vertical and horizontal stripes and checks. The silk is comparatively thick and richly textured due to use of twisted three-ply yarn. Each of the Kanchipuram silk saree is unique in itself since it is entirely hand woven with dyed silk yarn with interleaved designs made with ‘Zari’ – a Silk thread twisted with thin Silver wire and then gilded with pure Gold. Woven from pure mulberry silk, these sarees have classic texture, luster, durability and finish. With their dazzling colors and exquisite designs, Kanchipuram silk sarees are worn by the rich and affluent across India.
